Re: Obscure/forgotten stuff you liked as a kid
Seriously, I think the author was trying to replicate Harry Potter:
- The wizened mentor was a hidden tragic backstory (Galen)
- The antihero that first was a bully to the kids but then it turned out they had a tragic backstory (Sparr)
- The messianic hero (Eric), the goofball friend (Neal) and the girl (Julie) (can't remember if she was the "smart one" or not
- All three of the kids getting various magic powers
- A (dead) family reunion (only in HP they're actually dead, and in Droon, they magically come back to life).
Like, it'sn ot a perfect 1:1 comparison, but enough of one that I personally felt that it was probably do to the author attempting to mimic HP, or at least, ride on the wave a little.
